Magic Tricks

I have Watkins's hardback version of the book, and without a doubt, it is going to become a classic. He mixes billets, dual reality, and even some hypnosis to create masterpieces. Lets go over each effect.

Divine Moment of Truth-
An effect where you talk about how you had a life changing dream that revealed to you all the secrets of the universe. You wrote the secrets down on a piece of paper, and kept the paper. You show it to one participants, and they have a genuine emotional/physical reaction to what was written.

Practicality-10/10, the plot is amazing

Difficulty- 3/10, still pretty easy to do, but probably is the second hardest in the book to do(due to its mechanical nature)

Impact-10/10, spectators have cried when reading the message.

Overall-9/10

The Flutter of Black Wings-
Anywhere, anyplace, any time, you can divine the first 4 digits of a participants bank card.

Practicality-9/10, the reason I give it a 9, is because people may be uncomfortable about you guessing their credit card numbers.

Difficulty-1/10, probably the easiest effect in the book to pull off. It is natural, and to the point mentalism.

Impact-10/10,Imagine if someone told you the first 4 digits of your bank card. It would be pretty impressive.

Overall- 9.7/10.(I want to clarify, you do NOT peek the card. If they have the number memorized, you can do it without them pulling the card out to look at it)

Severance-
A billet technique that allows for instant pre-show. You can reveal information, without it ever seemingly being written down.

Practicality-10/10

Difficulty-2/10, as spectator control might be a problem.

Impact-???. This is meant to be used with other effects as opposed to one effect, but you could use it alone if you want.

Overall-9/10

Introjection-
Put a spectator into a trance, and then reveal things about their live theres no way you could know, even things not written down. Probably my favorite effect in the entire book!

Practicality-8/10, very practical, but may be considered convoluted to some. I dont think so though.

Difficulty-2/10, might be too bold for some.

Impact-10/10

Overall-8.7/10

When the Sky was Opened-
Have the participant think of a name. Literally steal the name from their mind. At this point when asked, they have forgot their best friends name. You reveal the name, whilst putting it back in their head at the same time.

Practicality-10/10, this plot is the most original I've read in a long time.

Difficulty-3/10, a very hard effect to achieve, but after practice, the result is amazing!

Impact-10/10

Overall-9/10

*OVERALL BOOK*-10/10


This is a fantastic book, and highly recommend to any mentalist.
